In preparation for Africa Day on Thursday, 25 May 2006, Channel O's programming for May reflects the hopes, diversity and achievements of Africa. A week before Africa Day, Channel O (DStv 87) is showing messages from the African youth about what it means to be an African in the 21st century. Lined up on the day itself is a special cultural and musical variety show which is part of a UNICEF cultural exchange programme between musicians, facilitated by Ethiopian and South African artists. The show will be broadcast at 5pm with a special rebroadcast on Saturday, 27 May, at 8pm.
